It has been decided that we need a new Mumsnet Scarf

In order to stop hijacking stormforce10's brilliant thread, in which she gave another TerribleCuntMum a proper bollocking (go, stormforce!!! - and link here for anyone who wants to cheer her on), I am starting this one.

The old Mumsnet Scarf, judging by responses posted to a picture, is just not serving its purpose any more.

Can someone explain the whole MN scarf thing to me? I have heard about it on many occasions but have no idea what it is or, more importantly, how to wear it. Will it make me look instantly stylish asks optimistically?

I think MNHQ is missing a trick here. They should commission a range of scarves with tasteful butterfly/skull/Pombear/cupcake & bunting/whatever prints, with the MN logo carefully camouflaged in one corner (it would blend in very well with butterflies, for example). The uninitiated wouldn't notice it, but for those in the know there would be no doubt at all about spotting fellow NMNers. And they'd make some money out of it, which might mean they could reduce some of the tackier ads would be an all-round win.
